Car hesitates and would not go. check engine light began to blink. has done this a few times when pulling out in front of people. it happens randomly and has happened two or three times.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai veloster. the contact stated that the vehicle hesitated when being placed into drive, the engine made an abnormal thud sound, the brake pedal became stuck, and the brakes made an abnormal whining sound. the vehicle was taken to empire hyundai (428 pleasant street, fall river, ma 02721) where it was diagnosed that the brake failure was normal and would correct itself. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 11.
Cylinder 1 has been misfiring. has the error code p0301. i took it in to hyundai and they said it was just a spark plug. changed spark plugs and coil packs and the problem resolved for a few months and now is worse. misfires/backfires in the engine when pressing gas. loud popping sound comes out of the engine. the car also does not drive properly. it is shaky when driving.
Dual clutch transmission failing. intermittently boot ot engaging into r or d gear and slips out of gear while driving on street or highway. i've done research and it appears this is a very common concern from a high number of hyundai veloster owners. i concider it dangerous as how it happened to me while driving trying to accelerate, gear slipped out and vehicle only reved high and no acceleration. luckily no fast traffic was behind me. this could have been worst. this has happed twice and hyundai has yet not found a fix and told me they cant find problem as there is no trouble codes registered in transmission. mileage when first happened to me was about 50k and second time at 90k. every maintenance has been been performed to vehicle with records.
The automatic transmission fails to shift. the rpm's will increase but the speed will not. the transmission will not re-engage until the vehicle is turned off and restarted. this happens when the vehicle is in motion and accelerating, usually while i am on and incline and after the trasmission has been through frequent shifts at high rpm's. i have video but it is too large to upload. the problem can be viewed on youtube with a vehicle experiencing the identical problem.
When the car is first turned on and put into reverse it periodically will not go into gear. if you put the car back into park and then into reverse it still will not go into gear. you must put the car into neutral and then into gear. this has happened twice in the past two months. we have recorded the transmission not going into gear and both hyundai of america and our dealer are doing nothing. i've been told that if they can't reproduce it themselves 'it is operating as designed'. this is a major component of any car and it having gear changing issues makes me concerned that it could escalate beyond this.
Transmission would hesitate when going from a complete stop to trying to go. this issue also occurs if you are completely stopped or while going up a hill at slow speeds.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai veloster. when the vehicle was placed in reverse, it went into neutral and did not immediately go back into drive. the contact stated that the vehicle changed gears by itself without warning. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. the dealer updated the computer. the failure recurred three days later and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer who then changed the gear shift actuator. the failure recurred within 24 hours and the vehicle was once again taken to the dealer. the dealer replaced the transmission. the failure recurred and the gear system was completely dislocated, unable to shift into reverse or drive. the vehicle was towed back to the dealer and provided the contact with a loaner vehicle. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and continued to check on the contact. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 2,900.
I had my 2015 veloster at the dealer 5 times for the auto trans sounding like the axles were bad when going into reverse. trans was flaring up between 1-2 & 3-4 but was told it was normal.that was 5200 miles. at 14314 this bad cv joint noise started & again was told it was normal.at 20859 trans was replaced per the hyundai field engineer. both problems still there. never even got it home before noise started. back in at 25878 with both problems as of yesterday & now they are saying its a charastic of the vehicle. this vehicle travels 240 miles per day as u can see by the milage. if these axles or cv joints let go my wifes life could be in danger at 70 mph. ddealer insists no problem & i have notified hyundai of america & the bbb auto line with no call back as of yet. tnx for your help in advance
